Starting tracks in time increments

If you aren't able to set track numbers automatically during recording (a radio program with interviews, for example), you might want to have the recorder start tracks after every three minutes or so. This will make it easier to listen back to sections of the recording at a later date. You can set the time to one, three, or five minutes.

Note: The time increment will default to

OFF when: recording is stopped; auto track numbering is turned off; power is turned off.

1When the recorder is stopped, press MENU/DELETE.

2Turn the jog dial (4 and ¢ on the remote) until T. INC. appears in the display, then press to ENTER.

The display shows the current time increment: one, three, five minutes, or OFF. The default is OFF.

3Turn the jog dial (4 and ¢ on the remote) to change the time increment.

4Press the jog dial to ENTER.

Recording fade ins and fade outs

Sometimes, for example if you're recording just an excerpt from something, it may be better to fade in the recording, then fade out again at the end, rather than start and end abruptly. You can also set longer or shorter fade times so that they match the fades on other songs in your mix. Note that you can’t record a fade in when in synchro recording mode (although you can record a fade out).

Setting the fade length

1Press MENU/DELETE.

2Turn the jog dial until FADER appears in the display, then press to ENTER.

3Use the jog dial (4 and ¢ on the remote) to set the length of the fade (in seconds).

Each turn will take you forward (or back) one second. The default is 5 seconds.

4Press the jog dial (ENTER) to confirm the new fade length.

Recording a fade in

¥With the source playing, press FADER during record-pause mode to fade in. Recording starts with a gradual fade in.

Recording a fade out

¥Press FADER during recording to fade out.

After recording the fade out, the recorder goes into record-pause mode. This happens in either normal or synchro record mode.

You can also just press 7if you don’t need a fade out.

If you record a fade out during all-track sync mode, the synchro mode is canceled after the fade out (see pages 19–21 for more on synchro recording).

Note: If the recorder runs out of recording space on the disc before the source has finished, it will automatically record a fade out and stop recording.
